AAA towing quattro

 >>>no other property damage but my car

Actually, the reason they didn't pay is AAA doesn't tow cars for free 
that are incapacitated due to an accident.  I've had a couple of 
different tow drivers tell me this as we are exchanging stories 
during the tow.  (as a part-time mechanic we usually start a pretty 
good conversation on the tow to my house, which usually seems to be 
at least 15 miles.)   AAA covers only mechanical breakdowns, flat 
tires, out of gas, etc.  Incidentally, I have AAA Gold, as my house 
is 15 miles from where I work, and I always want my car towed to my 
house.  They never send a flatbed here, even when requested.  I think 
I'd have to wait another hour for them to send a different truck if I 
ever really needed one. (My full-time 4wd Jeep CJ7 needed a tow once, 
but it was only 3 miles, and I put the transfer case in neutral, 
which seemed to be OK, as it still works.)
